Musescore software not responding, don't know why
Hi,
For a couple of days now I have been trying to open the musescore software on my windows 11 laptop, but every time I try, a start center pops up and both the start center and main program do not respond. This problem happened suddenly and with no clear explanation. I am afraid of losing my work or not being able to access it at all, and I don't know how to fix the problem.

Now that you have successfully opened MuseScore, choose menu item: Edit > Preferences... and then in the 'Program Start' section uncheck 'Show start center'.
See if MuseScore can now be opened using the program icon.
